Overview

• An independent panel partially upheld the EFL sanction, blocking any fee-based transfers for the remainder of this window and the January window.
• A third banned window is suspended for 12 months and will be triggered if Hull accrue seven or more days of late transfer payments.
• Hull must operate under an EFL-approved business plan, with every player registration requiring sign-off from the league’s financial reporting unit.
• The case stems from more than 30 days of late transfer payments, including money owed to Aston Villa and Manchester City for loan deals.
• Reported signings Gustavo Puerta and Reda Laalaoui are now unlikely to be registered, though Hull can still add free agents and arrange loans without fees.
